rep,

I don't think that's as bad as you led us to believe, but the cap is definitely kinda sad. But imo that's plenty good to come out very delicious.

Kinda weird looking butchering too.

I might join you guys today and cook some steaks for the fight!

alright i got a really crappy electric stove here with settings 1-6 and "HI". have the knob turned to slightly below 3 and the milkfats in the butter had just started to get fairly brown at the 10 minute mark, so i guess we're gonna start

Use a ****load of butter and that will give you more time with the butter.

I've done this technique on a couple different ranges, and right on exact medium level heat has worked well for me.

Here's some inspiration for you, prob my favorite pan-cooked steak I've done (this was 2.5in, 2.4lb):

yea ive seen that one, can never see it too many times tho

IBD, i think they did call it choice but maybe not. the pre-cut ones in the display case looked much better

get that butter under the damn steak

... and I think you may need to turn the heat up a little bit higher

rep,

Yeah, based on your description and looking at that butter, I'd prob move the heat to 4.

Nice. That pretty much is gonna at least ensure a feeling of success!

Spoiler:
FWIW I'm betting on a reasonable, edible, enjoyable result.

YES! final high heat sear finish is a must!!! say, 30 sec a side


EDIT: and butter baste is also mandatory to tighten up the missed sear spots

in my defense, it did seem to be butchered with some holes in it, like poorly finished concrete

I'm starting to get concerned that the overall cooking time may be a bit too long.

How long will it have been?

about 30 minutes but have to remember that the heat was probably way too low to start

i think true medium on this stove is probably about at the "5" setting

omg! my gf just left the house and took her phone (the camera i was using, since mine is RIP'd after wading into the ocean with it in my pocket)

interior is medium well with pretty significant gray band. lol its fairly horrific, i'll be sure to snap a shot of the interior when she gets back, since i'll def have some leftovers to re-heat with some huevos rancheros tmrw for breakfast.

pretty much the complete fail that i expected! garlic and rosemary basting is kinda saving it tho, at least makes it edible

so far i'm thinking my problems are

1) heat too low

2) not enough butter in pan

3) obv too long of a cook time

i have another one of these yaksteaks chilling in the fridge, i'll try to make some adjustments and pan it up tmrw and see how it goes. will update later tonight with interior shot for lolz
